The Chenghuang Temple of Hsinchu is a temple located in Hsinchu, Taiwan. It is dedicated to City God or Cheng Huang Ye (城隍爺), who is believed in Chinese religion to record the good and bad deeds of every people residing in the particular city. Common prayers made within the temple are for better lives, to seek for justice and to avoid flood and drought. The Chenghuang Temple of Hsinchu was built in 1747 during the Qing dynasty. Due to the influence of the Qing Emperors, Hsinchu became a prefecture and as such, the temple also rose in status. In 1891, prior to the first Sino-Japanese War and the subsequent Japanese rule of Taiwan, the Guangxu Emperor held a large prayer meeting in Taiwan and chose the temple as the meeting place. After the ceremony Guangxu presented the temple with a sign board reading "Golden Gate Protection", which signifies that the Chenghuang of Hsinchu protects and gives blessings to the entire country.
